The only reason I might see this film is JJ Abrahms. He is the only one who can direct star wars and if it was anyone else signed on as director I'm pass. I am so pissed that he was replaced by Johnson for TLJ.

I loved the Last Jedi, i hope it builds on it. One day you last Jedi haters will wake up and understand just how deep and entertaining Last Jedi really was.....like in maybe 20 years, like haters of the Phantom Menace are doing now.

Yeah, I’m not excited at all for this movie. The sequel trilogy has been a dumpster fire from beginning to end. Disney knows they fucked up, so now they’re desperately trying to appeal to the fans nostalgia by bringing back old characters and begging Lucas for help with the story. Unless they rent on The Last Jedi, I’m not giving them the time of day, and we all know they’ll never do that. Thus, this movie is a hard pass for me. I’ve seen enough shit shows.

They shouldn't have carried on after the ending of ROTJ, they should have just made a trilogy set in the old republic era with malgus or something. I'm really getting tired of stormtroopers and rebels.

What are you talking about kylo ren and Snoke don't know about Vader' humanity? Kylo Ren knows Vader is his grandfather since he calls him that way and knows that Vader was human at some point since Kylo knows both Luke and Leia to be his mother and uncle.

Still pissed how Disney just gets rid of with Luke with a vanishing act. Nothing like Disney to ruin a beloved character that we have lived with since 1978. Great job...next they will ruin Avengers....oh wait! Next will see Palpatine come back as a transgender. Go figure!

That is not how force spirits work skip this comment if you don't want to hear some nerdy Star Wars stuff but No Jedi had learn about it for centuries until Qui Gon who as one guided Yoda to be taught who passed on the knowledge to obi wan who spent two decades in Exile learning app then saved anakin's conscience at the Brink of disappearing. Luke Probably learn it in exile. Sadly Mace Windu never learned it neither did Leia and that child in episode 3 would never of Learn it

The canon's not super clear, but the force ghost thing seems to have come about because Quai-Gon discovered how to do it, then communicated it to Yoda during his meditations, who taught Obi-Wan how to do it. (Episode III at the end, Yoda tells Obi-Wan "Training I have for you..."). Therefore Mace Windu never learned that trick.

If sith spirits attach themselves to objects like you said in the video maybe palpatine’s spirit is attach the the Death Star as a whole, so whenever someone comes across the death star wreckage like Rey and the rest of the team did, they’ll have many encounters with the spirit of palpatine and hear his famous cackle or laugh.

I feel like Star Wars will pull a twist which at this point is very common in movies now, where Rey is somehow related to the Skywalkers and possibly adopted because we never really got a full and detailed explanation of Rey"s "parents" other than they junked them for water. Another theory is maybe Rey marries (yes I know) Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren and making Rey ultimately related to Skywalker but in-law.

that hunk of Death Star--if that's what it is--has to be from the second DS, which means that they're on Endor. Since that moon was primarily forest, the destruction of the second Death Star would have set most of those forests on fire, starting an extinction-level event as well as creating a permanent rainy cloud-cover like the one shown...

The balance that is required is that there can only ever be two Sith, a master and apprentice. Same rule applies to the Jedi. Rey is the Sith Lord. Kylo is the Jedi master. Their conflict is within themselves as they each come to grips with who they are.

In terms of your query: build upon themes of last movie vs. retcon? I'm hoping that J.J. Abrams fixes everything. Last movie stunk. Worst of the franchise. Here's to the redemption of Luke Skywalker's character; the most earnest Jedi in the galaxy!
